Using this Instruction Booklet

You have just purchased a SAMSUNG microwave oven. Your Owner’s

Instructions contain much valuable information on cooking with your

microwave oven:

• Safety precautions

• Suitable accessories and cookware

• Useful cooking tips

Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining four

basic cooking operations:

• Cooking food

• Auto Power Defrosting of food

• Grilling food

• Adding extra cooking time

At the front of the booklet you will find illustrations of the oven, and

more importantly the control panel, so that you can find the buttons

more easily.

The step-by-step procedures use four different symbols.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure

to microwave energy.

(a) Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the oven with

the door open or to tamper with the safety interlocks (door latches) or to insert

anything into the safety interlock holes.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or

cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and

door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with a damp cloth

and then with a soft dry cloth.

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is

particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no

damage to the:

(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces

(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)

(3) Power cable

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Safety Precautions

Important Safety Instructions.

Read Carefully and keep for future reference.

Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check

that the following safety precautions are taken.

1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:

• Metallic containers

• Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings

• Skewers, forks, etc.

Reason

: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

2. DO NOT heat:

• Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers

Ex) Baby food jars

• Airtight food.

Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes

Reason:

The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.

Tip:

Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty.

Reason:

The oven walls may be damaged.

Tip:

Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times.

The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the

oven going when it is empty.

4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.

Reason

: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the

oven.

5. ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.

Reason:

Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred

from the food to the dish.The dishes are therefore hot.

6. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.

Reason

: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has

finished, even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow

inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of

the oven. Let the oven cool down first.

7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

• Do not store flammable materials in the oven

• Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags

• Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers If smoke is observed,

keep the oven door closed and switch off or disconnect the oven from the

power supply

8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.

• ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has

been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.

• Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.

• Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn

yourself if the container is too hot.

☛✉❉

Important Note Caution Turn

jlY_^kuniUGGwG[GGmSGvGXXSGYWWYGGXYaWYGwt

Safety Precautions(continued)

• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

• To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic

spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after

heating.

Reason

: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed;

this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is

removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

• In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:

* Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

* Cover with a clean, dry dressing.

* Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.

• NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at

the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles

with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.

• ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the

baby.

• NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if

overheated.

9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.

• Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power

cable away from heated surfaces.

• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.

10. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.

Reason

: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.

11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.

Reason

: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can

cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

12. You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven

is in defrosting).

Reason

: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.

13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut

off automatically for safety. You can operate the oven normally after letting it

stand for over 30 minutes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is being

heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible

materials.

IMPORTANT

Young children should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the microwave oven.

Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is in use.

Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven.

Installing Your Microwave Oven

Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong enough to safely bear

the weight of the oven.

automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has

cooled sufficiently.

❉ For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt,

50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is

damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service

agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

❉ Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings

like next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply

specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension

cable used must be of the same standard as the power cable

supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and the door seal with a

damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the first time.

1. When you install your oven, make sure there is adequate

ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4

inches) of space behind and, on the sides of the oven

and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above and 85 cm(thirty

three inches) of the floor.

2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven.

Cookware Guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to

penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish

used.

Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the

cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates

whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

Cooking Guide

MICROWAVES

Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water,

fat and sugar content.

The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid

movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the

food.

COOKING

Cookware for microwave cooking:

Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum

efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium

and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic

as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.

Food suitable for microwave cooking:

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen

vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard,

soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a

microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that

would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example

(see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking

To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises

as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different

ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.

Standing times

After cooking is over, standing time for the food is important to allow the

temperature to even out within the food.

Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see

table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.

Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after

cooking. Cover during standing time.

Cooking Guide for rice and pasta

Rice: Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid - rice doubles in volume during

cooking. Cook covered.

After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and add salt

or add herbs and butter.

Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking

time is finished.

Pasta: Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and

stir well. Cook uncovered.

Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during standing

time and drain thoroughly afterwards.

Cooking Guide(continued)

Cooking Guide for fresh vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3 tbsp.) for

every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended - see table. Cook

covered for the minimum time - see table. Continue cooking to get the result you

prefer. Stir once during and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after

cooking. Cover during a standing time of 3 minutes.

Hint: Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they

are cut, the quicker they will cook.

All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (850 W).

REHEATING

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional

ovens hobs normally take.

Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The

times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C

or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C.

Arranging and covering

Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry

out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.

Power levels and stirring

Some foods can be reheated using 850 W power while others should be reheated

using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.

Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower

power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very

quickly (mince pies, for example).

Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir

again before serving.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive

boiling of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating. Keep

them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a

plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore

spoiling) the food.

It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if

necessary.

Heating and standing times

When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken

for future reference.

Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.

Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even

out.

The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another

time is recommended in the chart.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter

with the safety precautions.

REHEATING LIQUIDS

Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been

switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary,

and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding,

you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during

and after heating.

Cooking Guide(continued)

MANUAL DEFROSTING

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently

defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if

unexpected guests suddenly show up.

Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties

and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.

Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid

and remove any giblets as soon as possible.

Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.

If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield

by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.

Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to

stand for 20 minutes before continuing.

Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The

standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity

defrosted. Please refer to the table below.

Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less

time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and

defrosting food.

For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the

following table as a guide.

All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).
